saliqa itna to ai shauq-e-KHush-kalam aae
unhin ki baat ho lekin na un ka nam aae
KHirad bhi gosh-bar-awaz-e-waqt thi lekin
payam jitne bhi aae junun ke nam aae
na chal saka koi meri nigah-e-shauq ke sath
tumhaare jalwe bhi aae to chand gam aae
na jaane husn-e-haqiqat ki jalwa-gah se kyun
fasane jitne bhi aae wo na-tamam aae
kisi ne subh sanwari kisi ne sham apni
meri nazar ke ujale sabhon ke kaam aae
Ghazal
Saliqa itna to ai shauq-e-KHush-kalam aae
